Jy kry waarvoor jy betaal.

Vir 'n persoon op besigheid is die plek 100%, en jy kry waarvoor jy betaal. Kom laat in, en loop vroeg. Sal egter nie tyd daar spandeer nie. Alles was okei, maar niks om oor huis toe te skryf nie.

Karen D
Individual traveler

Gemaklike en rustige verblyf.

Kites View Bed and Breakfast bied gerieflike en gemaklike akkommodasie met 'n volledige heilsame ontbyt en gaste kan van aandete fasiliteit gebruik maak. Akkommodasie is skoon en netjies met vriendelike mense.

Was baie rustig.

Was baie goed ontvang. En is baie moeite vir my ontbytpakkie gemaak, aangesien ek Parkrun gedoen het. Baie rustige omgewing en veilig om in die straat te stap of draf. Baie vriendelike staf en gasvrou.

Will without a doubt come back again.

Was a great experience to stay at Kites B&B. I was in Durban with the storms and driving back from Pietermaritzburg at the time when Geoff asked if I need parking and what time I will be checking in. I was upgraded to a bigger room by Geoff which made my stay even better. WiFi is great if you need to work during your stay. Staff is friendly and breakfast nicely prepared. Have recommended the B&B to my boss for her next trip to Durban.

Francois L
With spouse/partner

Comfortable.

On arrival the bedding was not satisfactory. It looked like someone had already slept in the bed and the linen was pulled straight. The one pillow case had a big brown mark on it, like a sweat mark. We slept with towels over our pillows. The room could have been opened for air before the guest arrived, it was very stuffy. DStv was only working for 1 night. The drain of the shower has terrible smell coming through.

Geoff's Response

Hi Francois, My sincere apologies for the inconvenience. The linen is replaced before every check-in takes place. I can, therefore, assure you that the linen was clean and fresh. The mark on the pillow case is a chemical stain and will be removed from future use. We have a problem with Vervet monkeys trashing the rooms when doors or windows are left open, however, we will endeavour to remedy this somehow. Very often the remote which is used to switch the TV on and off is used to change channels (there is a separate remote for changing channels - ...

Hi Francois, My sincere apologies for the inconvenience. The linen is replaced before every check-in takes place. I can, therefore, assure you that the linen was clean and fresh. The mark on the pillow case is a chemical stain and will be removed from future use. We have a problem with Vervet monkeys trashing the rooms when doors or windows are left open, however, we will endeavour to remedy this somehow. Very often the remote which is used to switch the TV on and off is used to change channels (there is a separate remote for changing channels - DStv remote), when this happens the TV goes off AV and as a result, DStv is no longer available. The remote used for on and off only is marked accordingly. All drains (basin and shower) are dosed with Domestos weekly, this will have to be done more frequently. Thank you for the feedback it is appreciated, we go to great lengths to provide a home from home experience for all our guests. Kind Regards, Geoff

So nice, comfortable and beautiful view, just a bit far away from the shops etc. (not walking distance).

Friendly people, comfortable and beautiful view. The folks at Kites View are really helpful.

Baie lekker, gemaklik en 'n mooi uitsig, net 'n bietjie ver van winkels ens. af (nie loopafstand nie).

Vriendelike mense, gemaklik en mooi uitsig gehad. Die mense by Kites View is baie hulpvaardig.

Peaceful environment, spacious room, friendly service.

Quiet surroundings close to main roads and shopping centres. Well equipped, neat room and linen. Aircon is definitely a an asset in Durban. WiFi is available. DStv with selected channels. Lovely see view from the room's balcony. Parking cramped but safe.

Rustige omgewing, ruim kamer, vriendelike diens.

Stil omgewing naby hoofweë en inkopiesentrums. Goed toegeruste, netjiese ruim kamer en linne. Lugversorging groot plus in warm Durban. WiFi beskikbaar, DStv - geselekteerde kanale. Mooi uitsig van kamer balkon op see. Parkering beknop maar veilig.

Pragtige plekke, heerlike ontbyt, maar parkeerplek is 'n probleem.

Plek is in 'n veilige, rustige buurt, maar baie ver van die strand af. As jou doelwit is om te gaan vakansie hou, moet jy bereid wees om ver te ry.

Hi August,

Thank you for the feedback.

We take the welfare of our guests very seriously and endeavour to create a home from home environment. We would just like to briefly cover some of the pertinent points made above. Namely, location and parking.
1) Location (La Lucia KZN):
La Lucia is located in a tranquil, upmarket area adjoining Umhlanga Rocks.

Hi August,

Thank you for the feedback.

We take the welfare of our guests very seriously and endeavour to create a home from home environment. We would just like to briefly cover some of the pertinent points made above. Namely, location and parking.
1) Location (La Lucia KZN):
La Lucia is located in a tranquil, upmarket area adjoining Umhlanga Rocks.
a. Kites View is 2,5km from the La Lucia beach and La Lucia Mall.
b. We are 5km from the Umhlanga main swimming beach and Gateway theatre of shopping.
c. 15km from King Shaka airport and Ushaka Marine World.
d. 150km - 200km from the Drakensburg resorts and also Imfolozi/Hluhluwe "big five" reserves.
Our establishment is located in a cul-de-sac, and therefore does not have through traffic.
Most of our guests choose Kites View because of its beautiful views (also from the balconies of the 4 upstairs rooms), tranquil and safe environment, away from the hustle and bustle.

2) Parking:
Yes, parking can be a challenge unless managed by the management. We have allocated parking
bays on the property, for the guests, off the road, making the vehicles secure. The bays are
allocated according to size of vehicle, making it easier to manoeuvre them.

Thanks again for staying with us and look forward to your next visit. Hopefully then, we can advise you on the whereabouts of the nearest beaches, places of interest and also allocate a less challenging parking spot for you.
Kind Regards,
Geoff

Goeie waarde vir geld. Parkeer ruimte egter groot probleem en vir reisigers wat vroegoggend vertrek moeilik om uit te beweeg.

Ek het een nag oorgebly vir besigheid.

Die gasheer en -vrou het uit hulle pad gegaan om my welkom te laat voel. Nadat ek laat ingeboek het, het hulle my genooi om saam met hulle aandete te geniet - teen geen koste! Voorwaar 'n eerste keer. Ek sal Kites View sterk aanbeveel.

Ek is vriendelik ontvang. Die kamer was goed versorg, skoon en het als in gehad wat nodig was. Kos was ook goed en toe ek 'n versoek gehad het om vroeër te vertrek in die oggend was dit ook vriendelik geakkommodeer. Selfs geselskap was aangenaam.

Peaceful

The area is peaceful and quiet. The guesthouse is beautiful. The only concern was the dust was the bathroom, and the other room had ants. Also the breakfast menu needs to change & not be the same thing always. Otherwise we had a lovely stay & I absolutely loved the beds. I slept like a baby.
